Historical Importance of the 1918 Spanish Flu Pandemic: In three waves, the Spanish flu spread quickly, killing an estimated 50 million to 100 million people around the world.
I can't imagine what it would be like, living in a conspiracy theorist's dark and serpentine mind, with danger and boogiemen at every twist and turn.
Everything is a plot and everyone is out to kill you. Nobody can be trusted!
DANGER! DANGER!
I can't imagine what it would be like to be naive to the concept of a government agency being funded by a multi-billion dollar industry....
Oh wait...you're not!
So how do you explain your advocacy here? Maybe you're just a coward?
Public indoctrination took nearly 40 yrs. though, and this was the outcome....
In a public vaccination program designed to prevent a pandemic swine flu outbreak in 1979, about 25% of people in the United States were vaccinated. Unfortunately, the 1979 vaccine was associated with a small increased risk of Guillain-Barré syndrome, a serious neurological condition, with the risk estimated to be one to nine excess cases per million doses of vaccine, but no cause for this increase in risk was ever discovered.
Then let them get the flu shot. Why pump little kids full of lab poison.
My daughter did get the flu vaccine. But having a 2 year old hang on you all day and breathe in your face was an overwhelming exposure. Ask anyone who works in day care. They get everything!

It is a mercy kill for the old and weak. It lasted one season.
Survival of the fittest....
Oh,, and they didn't know what caused it to spread.. now with a mask, and some hygiene you can pretty much avoid it. Oh and lots of garlic.
Baloney!
The influenza pandemic of 1918-1919 killed more people than the Great War, known today as World War I (WWI), at somewhere between 20 and 40 million people. . . . The influenza virus had a profound virulence, with a mortality rate at 2.5% compared to the previous influenza epidemics, which were less than 0.1%. The death rate for 15 to 34-year-olds of influenza and pneumonia were 20 times higher in 1918 than in previous years (Taubenberger). . . . The flu was most deadly for people ages 20 to 40. This pattern of morbidity was unusual for influenza which is usually a killer of the elderly and young children. . . . Of the U.S. soldiers who died in Europe, half of them fell to the influenza virus and not to the enemy (Deseret News). The 1918 Influenza Pandemic

More arguments from Can O' Duh's finest.
What are you babbling about? A coward? Because I don't buy into every conspiracy theory that comes down the pike? Because I don't wear a jaunty tin-foil chapeau? Because I don't think the whole world is out to get me?

You don't die from the flu...you die from the complications.The most common culprit, by far? Pneumonia.
Due to tremendous medical advancements, excluding the money making vaccines, a pandemic like 1918 will NEVER happen again. To die, you'd have to be pretty significantly immuno-suppressed.
So yes, 6 month olds are higher risk...and elderly are very high risk. And , I'm sure according to the CDC, everybody between those ranges who die from pneumonia just have HIV... WOOOOHHHH
anyway....the link I posted shows the CDC's very questionable data collection methods. So it's totally plausible the vaccines are doing nothing at all or, possibly, something worse.
